Product-focused software engineer with 10+ years of experience building and evolving production systems. I specialize in backend development but work as a generalist — owning features end-to-end, making product trade-offs, and shipping real user-facing systems.
I value long-term ownership, fast iteration, and learning from real-world consequences of technical decisions.
- Own backend systems over multiple years, iterating based on production usage and real feedback
- Design and evolve APIs and data models with a focus on correctness, performance, and clarity
- Ship features independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Debug and resolve production issues end-to-end
- Balance engineering quality with product speed and constraints
A Messenger-based booking product for small businesses (salons, clinics, barbers).
- Designing product flows to minimize onboarding friction
- Building backend APIs, scheduling logic, and messaging workflows
- Making product and technical trade-offs based on early usage and constraints
- Operating the product in production and iterating quickly
- Owned and evolved core backend APIs used in humanitarian planning and monitoring workflows over 3+ years
- Designed embedded calculations and data models consolidating People in Need, funding, and response metrics
- Iterated on long-lived systems based on production behavior, improving reliability and performance
- Took responsibility for production issues, debugging complex data and shipping safe fixes
- Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, SQL
- Backend: Node.js, REST APIs, data modeling
- Databases: PostgreSQL
- Product & Delivery: feature ownership, iteration, trade-offs, user feedback loops
- Infra & DevEx: Docker, CI/CD, testing, production debugging
- Comfortable overlapping with EU (CET) and US time zones
- Interested in product-driven, early-stage or growth-stage startups
- Open to remote-first teams
If you’re building a product and care about ownership, speed, and real impact — happy to connect.
